EXMORTIS - THE STORY SO FAR:
You wake up in the woods with no memory of how you got there. Nightmares of blood and screams still echo through your mind. It's late and it's cold - unless you can find shelter fast, you won't last the night. You spot a house in a clearing up ahead and left with no choice - you decide to shelter there for the night. Soon afteryou begin to realise that death is a welcome choice compared to what lies waiting for you inside...

Revision V1.1 - Changes were made to actionscript for the triggering of the cellardoor. Explanation below may include game spoilers!

*** SPOILERS ***

I have altered the actionscript for triggering the cellar door. You must trigger the first 4 symbol closeups, read all 3 books and interact with Gwen to access the cellar door. I have obtained the above conditions in every possible sequence after testing last night and I am yet to fail to access the cellar door with this revision. Hopefully this will fix the "bug" a lot of people are mentioning in reviews.

This is my first Flash game, having only taught myself flash only a year ago. I wanted to create an atmospheric game with decent graphics as I have played so many flash games that kick ass with puzzles, but never pay attention to graphics and atmosphere. Unfortunately it was a situation where I had to make up the story as I went along creating it - so bits and pieces are kind of patched together here and there. If I had the time or the energy, I'd do a few things differently to improve interaction in the game - but I think that in its current form it achieves what I set out to do. Scare the living hell out of everyone. So play this in a dark room with the sound turned up for maximum scare-factor!

Note - the loading might take a while on slower machines - sorry about that, but the quality of the sounds involved were important to me. I only sacrificed the minimum amount of quality that would get the size down under the 5mb limit.

For those of you who just want a quick and easy game, I have posted a walkthrough... I have seen mirrors of it though, so maybe try googling "Exmortis Walkthrough"

Enjoy!
Ben.

Intense

This game is awesome! Absolutely brilliant. The music, the sound effects, the story itself...it's all brilliant. Furthermore, putting the setting of the game in America makes it seem more realistic. I know it's not, but the idea.....*shiver*

The best horror flash game I've ever seen.

This is by far the best horror based flash game I've ever seen or played. Only problem I found was that you had to do everything in a certain order, if you don't the cellar door won't open, other than that though its perfect. Please release the sequel.

Exmortis is literally the best flash game ever.

I had stumbled onto part 2 first but decided to go back and play part one before getting into the sequel. This one alone is very well done. Excellent good time. I gave it a five humor just because I have a morbid one.

Though the second one tops this I still have to give part one props for being atmospheric, developed, and using flash methods that don't overload the CPU as much as most flash games.

People should make more dark myst like games with flash. Exmortis will definately be hard to challenge though!
